Print has grown tremendously in the fashion market. We see delicate details and vibrant colours printed on almost all types of fashion textiles. Even sports people will no longer happy with just the usual stripes and chevrons, they want to attract attention in multicolour printed swimsuits and running outfits.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? We do not know whether the fast-moving digital technology has cleared the way for the popularity of print, or if the technology is eagerly following a demand. We do know, however, that the digital technology has granted us a world of opportunities to create beautiful unique prints, almost on a day-to-day basis.
Digital print offers you the individual expression
We have different taste, touch and dreams. The conservative attitude as to what to wear, how and when has retired. The trends of the fashion houses are more guidelines to fashion than they are instructions.
With the digital printing technology at hand, everyone can follow – even when the trend seems to change from one day to the other. If our crown princess Mary shows up at a charity concert catching everyone’s eye in a green patterned suit, it is very likely that those exact shades and details will trend immediately with fashion makers, big or small doesn’t matter.
Let us help you implement an individual expression or the urge to follow a new trend. If you want it all green, green it is! And we will even have your fabric ready in two weeks.

Transfer prints give you the best result
Whether project requires digital or conventional printing techniques, transfer will be the right answer. First, we print on the specially coated transfer paper, and then we reprint on fabric at high temperature (sublimation). When the ink meets the high temperature, it goes from solid to a gas and vaporises into the molecules of the polyester fibres.

Print on polyester
We have developed our printing techniques for polyester, but we also achieve good results on several polyester blends.
Polyester is a strong material that does not crinkle nor shrink and therefore, it is popular in almost all sorts of apparel. It has a good sweat-transporting quality, as the flat polyester fibres almost do not absorb moisture.

Sustainable fashion wear
Our digital printing technique uses water-based colorants only. No solvents. The consumption of ink is highly reduced using the transfer technique, and the ink is fully absorbed by the polyester fibres during the sublimation process. We produce no wastewater from the digital production, and the emission of CO2 is minimal.
Our colorants meet the requirements of the OEKO-TEX® approval in your printed fabric.
